It seems like milestones come in waves. Just in the past few days Abigail has amazing head control and loves being on her tummy (a big change for her!). She's a rolling machine, constantly flipping over and trying her best to crawl. She turns onto her tummy, lifts up her head and moves her legs like crazy. Her chest is still firmly planted so she's not going anywhere just yet, but it won't be long now!
She also started making this awesome noise. It sounds like a cross between Godzilla and a pterodactyl. Of course I caught it on video. The quality isn't great. I really need to start using the proper camera instead of just my phone.
Coughing is another new trick. I'm totally convinced she does this for attention. She'll cough a couple times and if I look at her she'll smile this enormous smile. She doesn't cough in her sleep or have any other symptoms, so I'm sure it's on purpose. Just another one of those "I just figured it out so I'm going to keep doing it" sort of things.
Here's an example of Jelly showing off her excellent head control in the bumbo:
And one showing off her shampoo-do:
The other thing that's going on is I think she's teething. She was super fussy the other day and would cry every time she started eating. I think her poor gums are sore. She was cranky all day until I finally gave her some tylenol, then she went right to sleep! Something was obviously bothering her. I even called the triage nurse at the pedi office because I was worried it was an ear infection or something else that required treatment. She said if there's no other symptoms (fever, discharge) then it's most likely teeth. She has 2 white spots on her lower gums, and has been drooling like crazy and chomping on everything in sight, but those have all been going on for awhile. I guess we'll find out sooner or later if it's tooth-related!
